The MultiModX – Integrated Passenger-Centric Planning of Multimodal Transport Networks project, coordinated by Bauhaus Luftfahrt and funded by Horizon Europe, has been highlighted in the institutional publication by SESAR JU and CORDIS, Smart airports and innovations in multimodality, released on 11 August 2025 (sesarju.eu). The full Projects Info Pack can be consulted on CORDIS (cordis.europa.eu).
Project highlights
MultiModX is developing a set of advanced tools to achieve seamless integration between air and rail networks, with a strong passenger-centric focus:
- Real-time disruption management, coordinating flights and trains to reduce the impact of delays.
- Multimodal schedule design, optimising transfer times and connections.
- Performance assessment, with indicators measuring efficiency, resilience and sustainability.
These solutions improve operational efficiency, enhance the passenger experience and support Europe’s transition to a more sustainable transport system.
A European innovation ecosystem
MultiModX is featured alongside other pioneering European projects advancing digitalisation and multimodality in transport: JARVIS, ORCI, PRIAM, TRUSTY, FASTNet, MAIA, SIGN-AIR, Travel Wise, HERON, PEACOCK and ASTAIR. Together, they contribute to the vision of the Digital European Sky, aiming for a smarter, more sustainable and resilient mobility system.
A collaborative consortium
The project brings together five leading European partners:
- Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V. (coordinator, Germany)
- University of Westminster (United Kingdom)
- Technische Universität Dresden – TUD (Germany)
- Nommon Solutions and Technologies (Spain)
- Union Internationale des Chemins de fer – UIC (France, International Union of Railways)
Upcoming milestones: Final Event and lunch debate
MultiModX will hold its Final Event in Brussels on Thursday, 13 November 2025, presenting its main results and findings.
The event will be preceded by a lunch debate on 12 November with a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), focusing on the challenges and opportunities of multimodality in Europe.
